IMPRovn-n 'macmnn ron untrue CONIBCTIONERY.

Th hedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thename.

To all whom itmcy concern.- V

Be it known that I, J OHN GARDNER, of Philadelphia, in the county ofPhiladelphia, and State of Penn-' syl-vania, have invented a new anduseful Improvement in Making Confectionery; and I do hereby declare thatthe following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, whichwill enable others skilled in the'art to make and use the'same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of thisspecification.

- This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in themanufacture of ornamental confectionery, whereby the same is greatlyimproved; and

It consists in forming the confectionery in various shapesand figures,between upright rolls or cylinders, so that the pieces of confectionerywill, when they leave the rolls, stand upright on a firm base, and becarried ofi in that position by movable. plates, or revolving belts,orother device, as will be'hereinafter described. Figure 1 represents afront elevation of the machine, by which I carry out my invention.

Figure 2 is a vertical transverse section of the same. Similar lettersof reference indicate corresponding parts.

I enclose the material-and form the figure.

The rolls and gearing are confined in a' suitably-constructed frame,which is kept upright by legs or supports attached to the horizontalplates I I, as more distinctly seen in fig. 2. v

Between these twoi plates I I, there is a movable plate, J, which-isworked back and forth by the pinion It, on the shalt E, andthe rackL,'on the under 'side of the plate J. The same motion that actuates therolls causes this plate to slide on ways made by rebating the inneredges of the.plates II, as seen at n n, fig. 1.

A revolving belt, or any other device, may be" used for carrying on theconfectionery as it is formed.

It will be seen that as the pieces" or figures of confectionery areformed, they leave the rollers in an upright position, and are carriedofi' in that position Without being in any manner mutilated or injured,so that. the forms of the figures made arepreserved in a perfect state.g This arrangement and method'of forming figures or pieces inconfectionery applies to hollow "as well as solid figures. I

Formaking hollow figures, the prints may be fast on the movable plate Jas seen at o in the drawing.v

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as Patent- 1. The forming. of figures (either solid or hollow)in confectionery, by revolving rollers or cylinders, in an uprightposition, so that the figures formed by the revolution of the rollers orcylinders will stand in an up right position, substantially as and forthe purposes described. 1 2. The movable plate J, or its equivalent, incombinationwith the rollers A B for carrying off or removing from therollers the figures thus formed, in an- .upright position, substantiallyas described.

The above specification of November, 1868.
